This Morning's Hunt
« on: December 05, 2015, 04:11:57 PM »
I've been trying to get time to take my grandfather deer hunting again for a long time and finally got the opportunity this morning.  He's a very special guy.  He served in the Air Force for nearly 30 years retiring as a Lt. Col. as a navigator on RB-47s and RC-135s.  Logged alot of hours over Vietnam and the USSR.  Unfortunately he now suffers from Alzheimer's and just kind of mills around the same few places every day and is getting slower and slower.  I haven't seen him this happy in along time.  I thought I would share this.

Nicely done.
